An eye opening ephifany!

Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

We now have our service up and running again and we are ever so thankful! Eventhough, quite a bittidz has happened since my last post, we have managed to overcome some bittid obstacles. We still are not 'out of the woods,' however, we will keep on trekking in Faith and Trust. Our Heavenly Father has provided for us thus far; so we will continue to keep relying upon Him to guide and direct our daily path.

Alan and I live one day at a time; and believe it or not, that tidbit choice has been helpful to our spirits. At the start and at the end of each day, we 'Praise Him in ALL Things.' We have many Blessings to be grateful for!

One of my favourite verses from the Bible is - Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." That being said, after a meeting yesterday, I was left feeling a bit downtrodden, saddened, and numb. An 'inner voice' strongly suggested I go check out the Bible for a tidbitz of solace, comfort and reassurance.

Quite literally, the Bible 'opened up to a section of 'Christian Life Study Outlines.' the heading being 'God's Plan Of Salvation.' In that master outline number fourteen, are seven facts that reveal God's plan of salvation!

1) IT IS A FACT THAT GOD LOVES YOU. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

11) IT IS A FACT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER. Romans 3:23 - "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

111) IT IS A FACT THAT YOU ARE NOW DEAD IN SIN. Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1V) IT IS A FACT THAT CHRIST DIED FOR YOU. Romans 5: 6-8 - "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly." "For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die." "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

V) IT IS A FACT THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED BY FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Acts 16: 30, 31 - " and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" "And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household."

V1) IT IS A FACT THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED AND KNOW IT. 1 John 5: 10 - 13 - "The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning His Son." "And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." "He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life."

V11) IT IS A FACT THAT YOU ARE NOW A CHILD OF GOD AND YOU ARE READY TO OBEY HIM. Acts 5:29 - "But Peter and the apostles answered and said, "We must obey God rather than men."

In yesterday's discussion, the subject of dealing with 'facts' came up. Well, as mentioned, I was rather 'numbified' and sought out the Bible, which happened (no tid coincidence, methinks!) to fall open on 'facts'; albeit a different type of 'facts.'

That was an eye opener ephifany to me and I thought I would include them in this post; as an uplift to those who would like some good cheer. Hope these tidbits are helpful bittids of encouragement.

Peace and God Bless.
